[. . . ] Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wherever possible the back of the product should be against a wall. If the appliance has been transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil contained in the compressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. [. . . ] However, the appliance should ideally not be installed underneath wall cabinets (as shown in Figure 1 - B). It can be positioned with its sides set tight against adjacent furniture as long as air is able to circulate freely behind and above it. One or more adjustable feet mounted on the base of the appliance make it possible to set it perfectly level. 100 mm Fig. 1 A 10 mm B 10 mm NP006 Rear spacers The plastic bag containing all relevant documentation also contains two rear wall spacers to be fitted into special slots on the back of the appliance. Fit the spacers into the slots, taking care to ensure that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in Figure 2. Next, turn them through 45° (arrow in vertical position) until they lock into place. 45° D060 Fig. 2 A 24 Important It is essential that the appliance be connected to an efficient earth tap. For this purpose the supply cable plug incorporates a special earth contact. If the sockets of your domestic wiring system are not earthed, have the appliance connected to a separate earth wire by a qualified electrician in accordance with existing safety regulations. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if the above safety precautions are not observed. This appliance complies with EEC directive number 87/308 of 2/6/87 relative to radio interference suppression. If the freezer has already been working for some time, turn the respective knob to the «S» position at least 24 hours before introducing the food into the freezer in order to ensure better freezing results. This period of time may be shortened according to the quantity of food. When quick-freezing is being performed, the compressor works continuously, employing all of its refrigerating power to the maximum. Keep the knob as it is for another 24 hours after the introduction of the food into the freezer and then return the knob to the «N» position. Bear in mind the freezing capacity of your freezer; that is, the maximum quantity of food that may be frozen in 24 hours. Distribute the packages as shown in Figure 5. Arrange the foods to be frozen in the upper compartment, so that these do not come into contact with already-frozen products because the higher surface temperature of the food to be frozen might cause an increase in the surface temperature of the already frozen products. When the necessary freezing time has elapsed, distribute the newly-frozen foods into the drawers to free the compartment for new foods to be frozen. Fig. 5 8 Kg 10 Kg D255 28 Rules to observe when freezing foods All products to be frozen must be fresh and of excellent quality. Each freezing package must be adjusted to the family's consumption quantity in order to be used just once. Small-sized freezing packages allow a more rapid and uniform freezing. [. . . ] You may then return the knob to the «N» position. This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the freezer has already been in operation. Helpful hints Always check the preparation date indicated on the frozen foods you buy and respect the expiration time provided by the producer. Do not open the freezer door too often and leave it open only for the minimum time necessary. Unnecessary increases in temperature will notably reduce the duration of the frozen food conservation.
